I felt as though Mr. Agency and I were in a good place. I saw him regularly, he treated me well, and I was content. There wasn’t any urgency to define where we were going, especially since we were a new couple and I had just started chemotherapy. The night after the Gala, I made […]
I felt so sick after my first round of chemotherapy that I didn’t have sex for almost a week. When I finally did have sex, I felt like I was “dialing it in.” To me, “dialing it in” means that I was doing it for the sake of doing it. I’m not one to fake […]
I had let Best Boy know that we needed to take the “benefits” out of our “friends with benefits” arrangement. It surprised me that he cared more about me than he had led on, but my energy – in and out of the bedroom – was focused on my new relationship with Mr. Agency. Mr. […]
After my recent conversation with Mr. Agency, I had some concerns. Would his lack of work/life balance be problematic for us in the long run? And, how much of a priority did he place on follow through? Since I was still getting to know him and liked a lot of the qualities he possessed, I […]
Mr. Agency had indicated that he would come over to my place after his events. So, when I received a text at 2am in which he wrote that he had gone home and would see me soon, I was irritated. I texted back: Seriously?!? I wish that you had let me know this earlier in […]
The week after Labor Day, Mr. Agency and I continued to spend a lot of time together in bed. Mr. Agency: I don’t understand those couples that don’t have a lot of sex. I bet that most people wish that they had a sex life like ours. [We laugh.] In the midst of our Sex […]
My friendship with benefits arrangement with Best Boy thankfully didn’t bar me from pursuing a relationship with Mr. Agency. I use the term, “relationship,” loosely, though, since I wasn’t able to date Mr. Agency in the conventional sense. “Why not?” you might be wondering. Well, Mr. Agency worked a minimum of 100 hours a week. […]
Boston Christian called me from the airport to update me on his dad’s status and say goodbye. I was glad to have seen him that week in August 2010, but his visit also provided me with clarity. Back in 2007, I had wondered if he and I were meant to date again. Now, though, I […]
The weekend prior to my surgery, Mr. Agency and I had planned to get together. It was tough to coordinate our schedules, though, since his work frequently required him to attend late-night meetings and events. Mr. Agency suggested meeting at 10:00pm on Saturday night. I didn’t particularly want to go out that late so I […]
After meeting Mr. Agency at the Masquerade Party, we became friends on Facebook. That led to an email exchange, and then we began texting each other. Mr. Agency: Will you be heading to the event at the rooftop on Wednesday? I hadn’t planned to go. But, I knew that two of my friends would be […]
